Tenma | An audition offer for Director Shirasawa's new movie....!? |
Igawa | The Director himself nominated you. |
Kazunari | Director Shirasawa is an international award-winning master! Amazing, Tenten! |
Tenma | —Nothing's decided yet. |
Igawa | I hear that several other young actors were nominated, but being chosen for the audition is already an honor! |
| They say it's difficult to even be nominated for Director Shirasawa's auditions! |
Tenma | I'll definitely take this chance.... |
Igawa | Also, the movie's main lead for was already decided—it's Sumeragi Issei-san, Tenma-kun's father! |
Tenma | Dad...? |
Kumon | So if Tenma-san gets the role, father and son will perform together!? |
Muku | Amazing, Tenma-kun! |
Yuki | So you're finally headed overseas, huh... Your huge ego is only going to get bigger. |
Tenma | You always have to get a word in. |
| —Igawa, if I get the role, when does the film shooting start? |
Igawa | They're going to start the shoot right away, but this role joins the cast near the end of the film, so you'll have three months from now. |
Tenma | So it just barely misses the timeframe for Summer Troupe's next performance and practice period.... |
Izumi | Won't you need to practice for your audition as well? |
Tenma | Yeah. I'll make sure it doesn't affect our usual practice. |
Kumon | Oh! But then it'll be a lot of work for you to watch over my practices as well. I'll try practicing on my own. |
Tenma | You don't need to go out of your way. Audition practice, our usual practice, taking care of you—I can handle it all. |
| This is no big deal compared to when I was really busy. |
Igawa | Back then you didn't even have time to sleep. |
Kazunari | Tenten was really popular, after all~. |
Yuki | Good thing you ran out of work. |
Tenma | I'm saving my energy! |
Kumon | Eh, but, are you really sure? |
Tenma | It's no problem. |
Yuki | He says it's fine, so don't worry about it. Useless is the one who's gonna have a hard time anyway. |
Tenma | Oi. |
Muku | Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. |
Misumi | I'll help too~! |
Igawa | Ah, that's right, if you are chosen for the part, you'll have to head to Paris for about two weeks. |
| Your passport hasn't expired, right? |
Tenma | Yeah. |
Kazunari | When you say France, the first thing that comes to mind is Mont Saint-Michel! |
Misumi | Mont Saint-Michel? |
Kazunari | It's a triangular monastery~. |
Misumi | Triangular!? I wanna go too~! |
Tenma | What an abstract explanation. |
Izumi | But going abroad can be dangerous, so you'll have to be careful. |
Sakuya | Eh? You're going abroad, Tenma-kun? |
Tenma | It's not certain yet. Only if I'm chosen for the audition. |
Chikage | Want me to assign my subordinates over there as your bodyguards? |
Tenma | What!? |
Chikage | Aren't celebrities often targeted? It's dangerous. |
Tenma | No, what do you mean by subordinates.... |
Chikage | Don't worry, they won't get in your way. You won't even notice that they're by your side. |
Tenma | That just makes it scary!? |
| I don't think I'll go anywhere too dangerous, and we'll have staff members, so it's fine. |
Chikage | Is that so? Well, if you ever need help, let me know. |
Tenma | Who is he.... |
Yuki | I'm scared this time because he doesn't sound like he's joking. |
| |
Muku | Kyu-chan was really trying his best at practice. |
Juza | ...I see. |
Muku | At this rate, you won't need to worry—. |
Juza | ...Do you think he can hold out against the pressure of his audition? |
Muku | .... |
| Ju-chan, aren't you going to tell Summer Troupe about Kyu-chan's body? |
Juza | ...They're all kind guys. I don't wanna make them worry any more than necessary. So long as Kumon doesn't say anything, could you also keep quiet about it? |
Muku | ...Got it. |
Juza | ...I'm sorry. |
Muku | Ju-chan, are you still against Kyu-chan joining the troupe? |
Juza | ...It's what Kumon decided. There's no use opposing him now. |
| If he fails his audition, he'll get hurt. |
| But if he's accepted and joins the troupe, he might get even more hurt... To the point where he can't recover. |
| But it's what he decided to do. I can't do anything about it. |
| If that happens, the only thing we can do as his family is be there by his side. |
Muku | ...Yeah. You're right.... |
